Chapter 584: Chapter 414: This Is a Fierce Beast (3)
The Saber-toothed Pigs were dead, but no one looked pleased.
"Captain, are the beasts of the Polar Forest really this strong?"
As the Beastman finished speaking, a heavy atmosphere descended upon the clearing.
"These aren’t ordinary beasts, and they aren’t wild boars. They’re low rank fierce beasts—Saber-toothed Pigs."
Seeing that the Saber-toothed Pigs were dead, the Scorpion Beastman who had been hiding in the distance finally dared to shuffle over and speak up.
The Messenger Beastman Captain’s eyes lit up. "Since they’re Fierce Beasts, go and see if these Saber-toothed Pigs have any Crystal Cores inside them."
The Scorpion Beastman’s cheeks twitched. He gave a dry laugh, but as he was about to say something, he met the Messenger Beastman Captain’s indifferent gaze and immediately swallowed his words.
He swallowed hard and stepped forward. Sharp claws materialized on his right hand, and he began to search the Fierce Beast’s head.
A moment later, he still hadn’t found anything.
"Lord Messenger, there’s nothing in these Saber-toothed Pigs."
Noticing the Messenger Beastman Captain’s dark expression, the Scorpion Beastman quickly added, "I heard from the Beastmen of the Flying Eagle Tribe that Saber-toothed Pigs are the least likely of all Fierce Beasts to have Crystal Cores. It seems they were right."
Hearing this, the expressions of the Super Tribe’s Beastman Warriors relaxed slightly.
They had killed seven or eight Saber-toothed Pigs but hadn’t found a single Crystal Core. It seemed these cores were rare indeed.
A few Beastman Warriors dragged the dead Saber-toothed Pigs into the distance. If they left them there, the strong scent of blood would undoubtedly attract more danger.
After the incident with the Saber-toothed Pigs, the Messenger Beastman Captain assigned two more Beastman Warriors to patrol duty. Only then did the others go back to sleep.
At dawn the next day, the group from the Super Tribe awoke. Thanks to the Saber-toothed Pig meat from yesterday, they didn’t need to hunt. After a simple meal, they pressed on into the deep forest.
Meanwhile, Wu Yue had just woken up in the new cave where she had taken shelter. After a quick meal of food from her System Space, she set off again to find Yuan Lang and the others, leaning on a witch’s wand she had redeemed from the System Mall for a full 200 points.
While searching for Yuan Lang in the deep forest these past few days, Wu Yue had been gathering herbs and rare plants around her nightly shelters to sell to the System, managing to earn back a fair number of points.
Through these exchanges, Wu Yue discovered that the System offered a high number of points for the first time she turned in an item. Subsequent exchanges of the same item yielded a much lower price.
But Wu Yue wasn’t greedy. As long as she could earn points, she was more than happy to do the work.
The witch’s wand in Wu Yue’s hand had a very impressive appearance, and its attribute buffs were also exactly to her liking.
It was a witch’s wand perfectly suited for her Healing Attribute witch power.
When she channeled her witch power through it, her Healing Attribute was enhanced by twenty percent, with the promise of an even greater bonus after future upgrades.
Moreover, the witch’s wand was surprisingly heavy. Before she had bonded with it, Wu Yue couldn’t budge it an inch, even using all her strength.
But after bonding with it, the wand felt as light as a small twig in her hand.
With a light swing, she could topple a tree as thick as her waist.
This instantly made Wu Yue feel that her two hundred points had been well spent.
As for its incredibly showy appearance, that went without saying. She had no idea what her System’s aesthetic preferences were.
It was just a witch’s wand, yet it was so incredibly ornate. Especially when she channeled her witch power, the rich, sacred aura made her feel like some kind of divine being descending from the heavens.
"Host, if we finish searching this area today and still find no trace, I’m afraid Yuan Lang and the others have gone even deeper into the forest."
The System didn’t voice its other theory. ’The Host would definitely not be happy to hear it.’
’But the chances of an accident are slim. Even if... their bodies were eaten, some of their belongings should have been left behind. With Tayun’s help, they’ve scoured the entire area near the Snow Tiger Tribe, and still, there’s nothing.’
Wu Yue’s expression soured. ’Yuan Lang is too reckless! The Fierce Beasts’ territory is expanding outward, yet he still dared to go deeper in.’
"Host, if we don’t find them today, our only choice is to venture deeper, into the territory of Intermediate Fierce Beasts. But we can’t just... huh?"
The System cut itself short. Even Tayun, the mount beneath Wu Yue, went rigid, staring in a specific direction with a low growl.
